   We purchased the Valentine’s Day prefixed menu. When we arrived our waiter didn’t realize we had already selected the pre-fix option, but once we mentioned it we were able to start our meal. We got our drink and bread and the first course. After that we waited probably an hour for the next course. Our drinks ran out and we had to flag down someone for another alcoholic drink (at this point we were pouring our own waters from the 13 dollar water bottles we ordered). After waiting for another hour for our main course and drinks the waiter came by to APOLOGIZE because he had been so inattentive. But nothing changed. Our drinks ran low again, and we were pouring our own water. For the main course we got the octopus and steak. They provided a huge knife for the steak which wasn’t necessary as it was cooked well, but had a ton of fat so I needed to be my own butcher. And the octopus was so chewy and tough such as disappointment. Then after waiting for ages the dessert came out. At this point we were nearing three hours at the establishment- which would be okay but most of our time we were sat there with no drink and no food. Out of the 5 desserts only 2 were okay the rest we didn’t even eat. And for the final act they tried to charge us again for the pre-fix meal which was pre paid. Then it took 40 minutes for someone to come to our table with an updated bill. All in all we were there nearly 4 hours, with mediocre food, and terrible service. The only nice part was the entertainment but it was certainly not worth it.

   El Lugar está hermoso y servicio bueno pero lastimosamente la comida está muy salada. Tenía muchas expectativas sobre el lugar y no cubrió eso

   This is worth the money and worth a second visit, even during a short stay. On par with any steakhouse in the United States.

   Amazing from the moment we walked in. Food was excellent! Service was top notch. The shows they put on during the entire night just made it even more enjoyable. Definitely recommend!!!!

   Such a fun and culinary experience! The atmosphere and waitstaff was great. We always go to the same places when in San Jose del Cabo, so we figured we’d try something new, and this did not disappoint. The offerings of beef and seafood were amazing. This is a steakhouse, so get the beef!! Oh and the tuna tartare was second to none! We will definitely add this to our list of favorite restaurants.
